In days gone past, English lovers would merrily go a-Maying into the springtime forest on May Day.

I bought some vintage postcards recently and discovered within them some clippings from magazines, calendars and the like. The woman collecting them must have deemed May just too sweet a month to toss, after the expiration of the calendar ....

Vintage Calendar, Month of May

Here it is, subtly carrying on the tradition of the likely much more sensual predecessor of "Maying", in this lovely refined version, with a sweet lady searching for her fellow and a courting couple ... who have already found each other.

May is my favorite month cause it's my birth month. It was named after the Greek Goddess Maia identified as the Goddess of fertility. I was born under the Zodiac sign of Gemini and I love researching about my birth month. I have even known my birthstone is the emerald. Thank you for featuring May in your blog. More power.

​Disclaimer: Many of my items are vintage. Please be aware that vintage items will vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of their production. They are not made at the current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is a good thing! They are generally an exceedingly higher quality than today's manufactured items, last much longer and have more attention to detail. However, items do also deteriorate with age and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
